The crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State yesterday took a new twist as new executives emerged from Ganduje's ward, issuing fresh suspension on the party's national chairman, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

Ganduje was last week suspended by another faction of the party executives in his ward led by Haladu Gwanjo.

Citing alleged corruption among other offences, Gwanjo said that the decision to suspend the ex-Kano governor was taken by nine executive members of the party in Ganduje ward.

But another faction represented by Ahmad Ganduje emerged to declare support for the national chairman, insisting the ward officials were satisfied with his leadership style.

However, a group led by the secretary of the ward Jaafar Adamu told newsmen yesterday that 11 of the twenty-seven executive members of Ganduje ward were the legitimate ward excos legally elected on 31st July, 2021.

Jaafar said, "We are the authentic executives of Ganduje ward and have passed a vote of no confidence and imposed new suspension on Dr Umar Ganduje for a series of reasons."

But the state chapter of the APC said the "suspension" was another case of impersonation.

The secretary of the party in the state, Ibrahim Zakari Sarina, told Daily Trust in a phone interview that, "It is a case of impersonation, still, they were also sponsored to come out and do it late evening on Saturday. We were called and told that this is what is happening."
